Beneil Dariush thinks he’d get the better of Charles Oliveira in a rematch. Dariush (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) saw his eight-fight winning streak snapped by Oliveira (34-9 MMA, 22-9 UFC) with a first-round TKO loss this past May at UFC 289 . With the win, “Do Bronx” earned a title shot in a rematch against lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 294 on Oct. 21 in Abu Dhabi. Although he got the fight down to the mat early, Dariush thinks he had an off-night against Oliveira. “Yeah, it’s not my first time losing, and it’s not my first time rebuilding back up,” Dariush said on UFC Unfiltered .
